A reminder that the school swimming carnival is being held tomorrow at Queanbeyan Pool. Students should come to school as normal, dressed in their sports gear with swimmers on underneath. House coloured clothing is encouraged! Hats are compulsory and please ensure sunscreen is applied in the morning and throughout the day. Please bring a towel, underwear, a packed recess, lunch and drink bottle. The canteen will be open for small snacks only.

Buses will be leaving school at 9.15am and return in time for normal home time arrangements. Kindergarten and Year 1 students will return for lunch at school.

You may remember proposed changes to school buses first being raised in Term 3 last year. We have attached a letter received from Judith Sturman, Executive Group Manager, Public Transport Operations advising that these changes will commence from Monday 29 April (start of Term 2).

We note that one of the morning buses arrives prior to the commencement of teacher supervision and would appreciate all parents of students who will be travelling to school on this bus to advise us as soon as possible by emailing office.stfranciscalwell@cg.catholic.edu.au

Now that St Francis of Assisi Primary School has a brand new website and new-look school newsletter, we are asking all parents and carers to download the SZApp app which is a new app for the school to communicate with families.

Please follow these instructions to install SZApp on your smart phone and receive alerts when messages are sent to the school community.
